2003 Hyundai Tiburon

Asking Price Range

Estimated MPG

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. It is a price that does not include any options that can be added to a particular car style. When shown as a range, the prices are starting MSRPs, without options, for multiple styles for that model.

This price range reflects for-sale prices on Cars.com for this particular make, model and year.

These city and highway gas mileage estimates are for the model's standard trim configurations. Where there are optional features, packages or equipment that result in higher gas mileage, those fuel-economy estimates are not included here.

Worth the wait

by Getting Even from Greeville, SC | March 21, 2014

I bought this for my 16 year old son. People thought I was crazy trusting this kind of car to my son. He is one of the most cautious people and drivers I know. I was right but it backfired. He was afraid of the car and the way it could attract tickets.
I then realized this was the car I always wanted. I was right. This car performs like no other fast and smooth in the turns. Gets great gas mileage, and sounds oh, so good. I'm an old guy but getting in an out of this car is a breeze. Once you are in it fits so well. So speed, handling, economy, and it draws looks where ever I go. So what else? Visibility is surprisingly good.

The Best In The West (east, north, south)

I own the exact same car. It has been the best purchase I have ever made. I am a single woman and this is a problem free, reliable car and it looks really nice.
Mine has 108,000 and don't you think I have just considered trading mine in for a lower miliage Tiburon? Yes I am thinking about it now. I am smitten with praise for this car and anyone who asks me "Hey how do you like the Hyundai?"....they get the full story of praise from me.

i love it :)

LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!

by Tib Man from Chicago | November 30, 2009

I have nothing but great things to say. My tibby has over 140000 miles on it and stills drives like new! It competes with my friends 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS Spyder and I spent a fraction of what he did! I would recommend this car to ANYONE! It looks great, feels great, handles great. Plus it has a six-speed manual transmission! This car is AWESOME and I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Mechanical Mess

by Tibby from CO | July 2, 2009

I drive a 2003 Hundai Tiburon and I would absolutely refuse to refer it to anyone. Yes the car looks great on the outside, but I have had problems with it that just aren't safe. At times the car's accelerator revs on its own and there is no stopping it including the brakes. I have had it looked at and they can't find the problem. I have never seen something like this before.

TOP GEAR APPROVED!!

by Stig from San Diego, Ca | May 12, 2009

Saw an Episode of Top Gear where they compared this vehicle to a Lexus is 430 sport coupe and said that for the price and considering the car maker the Hyundai Tiburon stays true to a what a sports car should be over the Lexus. I have to agree with such an elegant and yet so aggressive body style the Tiburon is still a very unique looking car always turning heads when going down the road. It has a very quiet exhaust and gentle acceleration while just cruising down to the store but press the throttle down a bit and you get a nice grumble that quickly grows into a deep muscle car roar emitting from the twin exhaust pipes all while throwing you hard into the leather bound bucket seats. If your looking for a best bang for your buck sport car with out the hassle of reliability issues the Hyundai Tiburon is that car.

best value

by TechGuy from Sacramento | March 11, 2009

Very fun to drive car. Reliable and good looking. Many upgrades available. It has powerful v6 engine and 6-speed manual transmission. The most important thing is that you don't have to overpay for this car, like you would for Honda or Toyota.

I wouldn't sell if it I didn't need the money.

Ever since I bought my car, I have received numerous compliments about it. This is truly a car that will turn heads and make you worth being noticed. The comfort of the bucket seats and the speaker system allows you to drive to your destination without having or wanting to make a pit stop and get out of your car and stretch. Another key aspect of this car is that you don't see too many of these driving around, unlike cavaliers, honda civics, and pontiac grand ams and I'm sure you could think of a few others but that is what makes this car worth buying along with the safety, reliability, and power of this vehicle.
